Photo Gallery: The Zoo in Winter






The Seneca Park Zoo welcomed a new polar bear the night before we arrived in town for vacation. His name is Zero, and he's on loan from a zoo in Wisconsin for one year to see if he'll mate with longtime New York resident Aurora. My dad offered to treat us, and I've never said 'no' to a zoo.


We've walked our local wildlife conservatory in the winter but never right after a snowstorm. Buby and Bleu slipped into their snowsuits eager for the adventure. The coolest part was watching Bleu and my dad bond. Finally. I guess she's over her fear of 'mature' men, because she didn't give either Grandpa a fuss this month. She let my dad stroll her or hold her the entire time at the zoo. Buby hung with me and Grandma.


Top sights for the kids included the polar bears {of course}, sea lions, orangutan, rhinos, elephants, tiger, and ostriches.
